Elevated Grains Bakery will be altering its business model next month as a result of challenges in finding employees to help run the business. They will be closing the dining room portion of the business and switching to taking orders for baked goods until a solution to the employment problem presents itself. Emily LePinnet, who opened the bakery in May, explained that "July 1 will be our last day open to the public. Then I'm going to take a week off. When I come back, I'll probably post a small...
Although winter is usually the season when seniors fear falling and getting injured the most, mainly because of ice and snow, but summer has its own issues and concerns for falls and injuries. I researched the most reasons for falls in the summer. Dehydration can lead to dizziness which can, in turn, make someone lose their balance and fall. Drinking water is essential. Wet surfaces can be pretty slippery. Rain and watering outside can cause wet surfaces, whether going to a pool for a swim or gardening and watering your yard. It would be best...

Essential workers took on a whole new meaning during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. In healthcare though, we’ve always known and recognized that CNAs (Certified Nursing Assistants) are essential to the daily operations in any medical facility. Especially the week of June 15-21 when we celebrate Nursing Assistant Week. A CNA assists patients with all the tasks most of us take for granted daily. Things like bathing, dressing, moving from a chair to bed and the like. Because of their close involvement with each patient, they become very a...
Vacation Bible School for ages four years through those students just finishing third grade was held at Grace Lutheran Church, the mornings of June 5 – 8. This year’s theme was “Praise the Lord,” and all 22 young children were excellent about raising their voices in joyful songs of PRAISE which may also use the words “Hallelujah!” or “Rejoice!” or “Thank you!” or as their rap song went: “Praise, what’s that? It’s a Yippee, Yahoo, Way to go, God!” Our main Bible verse was from the book of Psalms which has the most verses about praise of any of t...
For the last several days, I have been studying the ancient Greek idea of citizenship.

It was a closer game at the half, but the West got four touchdowns in the second half. However, it is an honor to be selected and to play with the best...
